Janine and Brett wrote this b-day jam for Jonathan

JON DAN TRAVI AT 33



The pans in the fig tree signal the season
the bloody clovis cries out to his father
for the shimmier Season of the which
cake-in pleasantry must hit the ceiling,
a Ballard ballad under the City Park
interstate ogre-me edens a littery, piebald
setting for seating a new birthday
rear duchess.
Perhaps we will salute you
lasso you in for a few lashes
hurl cupcakes at concrete and call it a night.
Grimalicious and 33, and great at You —
JT, you must enhance our mortal flirtations
turn lil pip wishes into seafood shell currency
something kite-tight for the shag in our souls.


Q

The last time we did this over the net
we were fired for loving on the job
catapulting us to fun war capital
and making a habit of wigs.
You were wearing one yourself
but it was your own hair.

(Light is the head ever in Greystoke.)

May your years be like a night of karaoke
never-ending. Keep shaking your
salt-and-peeper moulah maker :
we dig your hands-free pumping, we dig your
pix and your 10,000 words
for the mule.
